What Users Leave Unsaid: Under-Specified Queries Limit Vision-Language Models

arXiv:2601.06165v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Current vision-language benchmarks predominantly feature well-structured questions with clear, explicit prompts. However, real user queries are often informal and underspecified. Users naturally leave much unsaid, relying on images to convey context.
